Opening the program with a new trailer, Capcom then leaves room for director Yoshitake Suzuki to explain some of the points in detail. This includes the return of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s flagship monster, Seregios, or a close-up of the expansion’s flagship monster, Malzeno. The latter is an ancient dragon that can absorb the life force of other monsters, as well as the life force of hunters, and the double punishment is to let this vampire evolve into a more powerful form.
The presentation then revealed a new feature called Paragon Quests, which includes hunting with Elgado’s main characters like Fiorayne, and Kamura’s old acquaintances, including the twins. In addition to mastering their own weapon class, there are many allies who are sure to heal, place traps and even ride monsters. To spend quality time with these characters, Paragon Quests are designed for single player.
Mechanically, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak New alternate talents have been introduced, such as Silk Link attacks, but most importantly allow you to change their functionality mid-battle. More precisely, it is possible to easily switch between two sets of talents pre-configured by the player. The most creative will be able to imagine new combinations of Silk Link attacks. “Hunters who are attacked during a skill change can also dodge blink in any direction to avoid danger or reposition to continue attacking“, Capcom added.
Other adjustments include no need to perform sprint Start, but no doubt the full list of changes will be available when the expansion launches on June 30.
